The artist works in the style of psychological symbolism, combining figurative elements with abstract forms. Her practice reflects on themes of inner conflict, the nature of human imperfections and fears, as well as the duality of the forces that shape identity — individual, collective, and relational.

The most recurring motif in Amaliia's work is the face — embedded within geometric structures reminiscent of labyrinths, enigmatic symbols, or patterns. Rhythmic and cool in tone, these faces represent a single recurring character — the Serpent (Snake) — appearing in multiple forms. By depicting it, the artist seeks to reveal and give a face to phenomena that defy rational explanation, to experience these states, grasp their essence, and come to terms with them. These are meditations on a disorderly inner power that can be both a threat and a source of strength.
